Lamb Chop Kleftico
Cooking food in parcels is always fun and the aroma when these foil packages are opened at the table is wonderful. Cooked slowly like this the lamb turns out very tender and in need only of some potatoes and salad to go with it If you feel like going the whole hog some chopped feta cheese can be added to each parcel before it goes into the oven but remember when you open it up the cheese will be extremely hot.
4 - 8 Lamb Chops (depending on size and hunger)
4 cloves Garlic, slivered
3 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 tbsp White Wine
1 tbsp dried Mint
1 tbsp dried Oregano
salt & pepper
Using a small knife insert the garlic into the chops. Place each chop (or pair of chops) onto the centre of a 12" piece of foil. Distribute the remaining ingredients evenly on the top of the chops. Seal parcels. Place in baking dish and bake in a moderate oven for 1½ hours.
